The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is a unique venue on the Formula One calendar with its high altitude, and provides opportunities for photographers to snap some of the most vibrant imagery across the season.
The Mexico City Grand Prix weekend was a true festival in and around the paddock and its incredible sporting scenery was captured in its imagery throughout the exhilarating event.
Join Aston Martin F1 Team and Motorsport Images photographer Zak Mauger as he explains the details behind his favorite shots from the Mexico City Grand Prix.

“It’s quite rare to get both cars leaving the garage together, but this is the case during Free Practice Three. I was at the pit exit as the cars headed down the pitlane so captured this on a 600mm lens.
“I like how they emerge from the shadow into the light in this frame. This is helped by the sun shining in the pitlane during the early afternoon session – the only time of the day where this happened.”

“I really like this photo of Seb with a toothpick in his mouth, as he concentrates before heading out for FP1. This is shot on a 50mm lens with a small aperture to give it a shallow depth of field.”

“Using a slow shutter speed of 1/30th of a second helped to show motion as Lance tackled the final few corners through the famous Foro Sol sequence.
“The Mexican fans are always great and the stadium was full, providing an incredible atmosphere for FP2 rarely rivaled elsewhere across the season.”

“I shot this at 200mm, focusing on Lance’s eye as he prepared for FP3 on Saturday.
“I exposed the image for the shadows inside the helmet, making the rest of the photo a bright white to give it quite a cool effect.”

“The Foro Sol stadium section is simply great for photographs.
“This is taken from up high in the grandstand using a slow shutter speed to blur the colorful fans while keeping the car pin-sharp.”

“Seb had a special helmet dedicated to Dietrich Mateschitz this weekend – he first ran this design way back in 1999.
“This was shot with the helmet on the car with a 50mm lens and a wide-open aperture to give it that dreamy, soft look.”
